I was in the running for a position w/Emirates but then they completely stopped all hiring right before my next interview. I'm now looking into Etihad, and am wondering what are people's experiences so far? Either in the hiring process or with living in the UAE and working for them?

I just applied on-line for Etihad as cabin crew. It says on the site that you will be notified around 2weeks before the closing date for the position, but then the hiring for cabin crew is open ended. So how does that work?

Anyone here applied online then called for interview in Abu dhabi? I'm Japanese, but located in the Philippines for the moment and Etihad does not have assessment schedule anytime soon for neither of the countries I mentioned. I am very much willing to fly to Abu Dhabi to apply, but then you need an invitation from Etihad to qualify for an interview.

Lauramc83 in Liverpool, United Kingdom said: I've been invited to assessment day, but there was none in my country so have to go to Romania April 23rd, is any1 else going to this?

I am attending an assessment day in Dublin on the 11th of June, if you can wait until then would be cheaper than going all the way to Romania, also if you check their website I think there were some UK dates for June on it aswell...

The locations have been removed since I booked Romania, I'm worried I can't change this now, Dublin or London would be ideal

You will need to get the police clearance scan it and send it with all the documents requested by the company: experience letter etc.,did you got the form on your assesment day to apply for your clearance?expected academy course and start in september only

Huseyin in Antalya, Turkey said: starting 9.30 and then info about Etihad airways and your job untill 11.30 then 40 minutes exam (English exam.consist of 5 categories..based on articles,filled the blank with works vs.question about one script vx then totally 10 questions about foods and beverages like what is Port wine? (this is only for F&B manager applicants) if you only success from this part then you go to final interview..final interview is they ask you problem and you need to sort out that complain last thing 20 minutes interview questions

personal appearance are very very important than Technical knowledge vs

You need to relax and wait until the next e-mail. Don't worry, it's something typical. In this mail they explain to you that they don't have available date for a training course. When they're about to create one, they 'll contact you! So just wait!

Serena, oh i already passed the assessment. My panic was regarding the offer letter - i was offered a job, but they asked me to upload docs in order to continue with application. So as i couldnt find where to upload them i was panicking a bit, as i have to do it until 30.09. But apparently the only way of uploading it is in my application.... So , we'll see. If i did it wrong, they gonna withdraw my candidature. Hopefully its gonna be fine. Thanks ;)

awsooooommee :) so when is ur DOJ ? :) ..
btw , if ever u couldnt upluad ur docs on the website just call them and ask if u may use Fedex as an alternativ or so .. a least u'll know for sure they get them ;)
PS : i read somewhere about this girl that got her application cancelled because the recruiters couldnt get in touch with her former employers .. afetr she signed the contract .. i guess they do a double check after accepting the offer .. make sure to contact ur references n ask them to check their spams as well .. i will do too :D

Well, the thing is, they told me that after i upload all the documents and it is approved i will receive the contract and as i guess the DOJ is going to be mentioned there... i dont have any clue when actually. They just asked not to resign from current job untill the application procedure is over aka approving of my docs... Thank you, i think i gonna call them and just check if they got all the docs as required... As am worried i had to upload everything until aftertomorrow and i just hope they come back to me if i have done smth wrong with docs.
Haha, yeah, thanks again - just sent email to my former employers in regards to sudden emails and spams :))

Hi there! This thread is so useful thanks to all the people who posted. I applied online for cabin crew and have been invited to an assessment day! So pleased! except I can't find one in the UK or Europe even and I can't afford to fly to Abu Dhabi... I don't know what to do? Can I wait until more assessment days are listed? Any help anyone can offer me on this will be much appreciated. I really don't want to miss my chance :)

Congrats!!
You said you were about 200applicants, how many of you made it till the FI? How long did this FI last?
From your experience; what they want to hear when asking that WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR ETIHAD question.
I'm planning to attend the coming OD in Casablanca, & I would be grateful for any information that you can provide about what the interview process was like!?

Hello!!
I have the same problem with Mellie! I have been invited to an assessment day but all the dates available are in Abu Dhabi..
What should we do??
Wait until a more suitable place appear in the schedule? Does anyone know how often Etihad organizes Assessment days in Europe?
Thanks! :)

Hiya - I applied on the etihad website to become cabin crew... I got an email saying I was invited to an assessment but there were only ones in Abu dhabi for 6th February. I've booked it and I'm going! Do many people make it through on the day? I really hope I do well, going all that way. Would the fact that someone was willing to travel look good? I have friends in Dubai so can catch up with them too :-) any tips? Best of luck to everybody else xx
